Itinerary Travel on the Silk Road with Odyssey Traveller | Small Group Tour for Seniors 02-Oct-2021 4/19 https://www.odysseytraveller.com.au Australia 1300 888 225 New Zealand 0800 440 055 [email protected] Day 1 Locations: Xian Overview: Upon arrival in Xian, we make our own way to our hotel. Remnants of the ancient Chinese capital of Chang’an (“Perpetual Peace”) can still be seen behind the sheen of modern Xian, as many of its monuments, Ming-era city walls, and Muslim Quarter still stand. Chang’an was the capital of more than ten Chinese dynasties, reaching its apex under the Tang Dynasty as it grew to become the home of more than a million Chinese and foreigners, comparable to the population of a modern metropolis. Nara, Japan’s first permanent capital, as well as the thousand-year capital Kyoto were modelled on Chang’an’s grid-like layout. We will start our tour with an introductory meeting in the late afternoon, followed by a welcome dinner. (D) Accommodation: Grand Dynasty Culture Hotel or similar Day 2 Locations: Xian Overview: Xian is most famous for its Army of the Terracotta Warriors, and today we will visit this life-size army guarding the tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of a unified China. It is one of the most famous archaeological finds in the world, the underground vault containing the warriors, bronze chariots, and horses discovered fortuitously in 1974 by workers drilling a well. We will also visit the Neolithic archaeological site of Banpo Village, which was discovered by workers as well in 1953 in the process of digging a foundation for a factory. Located in the Yellow River Valley, east of Xian, the site covers almost 20 acres and contains stone tools and various artefacts of the Yangshao Culture, which flourished in the Yellow River Valley between 5000 and 3000 BC. The Yangshao Culture was believed to be matrilineal, which meant one’s ancestry was traced through the mother’s line, not the father’s. It was the first large-scale archaeological operation of the People’s Republic of China and is a worthy visit. In the evening, we will enjoy a dumpling banquet whilst entertained by the Tang Dynasty Show, which combines Travel on the Silk Road with Odyssey Traveller | Small Group Tour for Seniors 02-Oct-2021 5/19 https://www.odysseytraveller.com.au Australia 1300 888 225 New Zealand 0800 440 055 [email protected] poetry with singing, dancing, and colourful costumes.

  • Middlemen and Marcher States in Central Asia and East/West Empire Synchrony Christopher Chase-Dunn, Thomas D
    Middlemen and marcher states in Central Asia and East/West Empire Synchrony Christopher Chase-Dunn, Thomas D. Hall, Richard Niemeyer, Alexis Alvarez, Hiroko Inoue, Kirk Lawrence, Anders Carlson, Benjamin Fierro, Matthew Kanashiro, Hala Sheikh-Mohamed and Laura Young Institute for Research on World-Systems University of California-Riverside Draft v.11 -1-06, 8365 words Abstract: East, West, Central and South Asia originally formed somewhat separate cultural zones and networks of interaction among settlements and polities, but during the late Bronze and early Iron Ages these largely separate regional systems came into increasing interaction with one another. Central Asian nomadic steppe pastoralist polities and agricultural oasis settlements mediated the East/West and North/South interactions. Earlier research has discovered that the growth/decline phases of empires in East and West Asia became synchronous around 140 BCE and that this synchrony lasted until about 1800 CE. This paper develops the comparative world-systems perspective on Central Asia and examines the growth and decline of settlements, empires and steppe confederations in Central Asia to test the hypothesis that the East/West empire synchrony may have been caused by linkages that occurred with and across Central Asia. To be presented at the Research Conference on Middlemen Co-sponsored by the All-UC Economic History and All-UC World History Groups, November 3-5, 2006, UCSD IROWS Working Paper #30. http://irows.ucr.edu/papers/irows30/irows30.htm This paper is part of a larger research project on “Measuring and modeling cycles of state formation, decline and upward sweeps since the Bronze Age” NSF-SES 057720 http://irows.ucr.edu/research/citemp/citemp.html Earlier research has demonstrated a curious East/West synchrony from 140 BCE to 1800 CE.
